Dumb punk rock for intellectuals, Spirin D.

punk rock and intellectuals-it would seem that things are not connected, but the leader of the "cockroaches!" Dmitry Sid Spirin masterfully proves the opposite. Behind the ironic name of the book lies not just the story of one group, but a cut of the life of informals of the 90s of the entire Russia-simultaneously funny and bitter. And, of course, this is a real gift for fans!

How did Sid get his nickname and where did the name of the group come from? Why did Spirin get to St. Petersburg? What have the "cockroaches!" And "Spline"? How did the albums record when no one has heard about the record studios yet? And how, damn it, these punks were able to survive several crises, a change of compositions and sounds and not only continue to successfully perform on stage and release new albums, but also inspire other musicians for accomplishments?

All answers here, in this one and honest manifesto of the rocker spirit, exciting the attention of readers from the first pages. Confirmation of this is the third edition of this cult autobiography! The new version of the book included additional materials as a bonus: the first foreign interview of the group and an interview with Yuri Dudia, the story of the heating of “Technology” and “Bloodhound Gang”, as well as unique archival photos and concert posters.
